This volume gives an overview of the state-of-the-art with respect
to the development of all types of parallel computers and their
application to a wide range of problem areas.
The international conference on parallel computing ParCo97
(Parallel Computing 97) was held in Bonn, Germany from 19 to 22
September 1997. The first conference in this biannual series was
held in 1983 in Berlin. Further conferences were held in Leiden
(The Netherlands), London (UK), Grenoble (France) and Gent
(Belgium).
From the outset the aim with the ParCo (Parallel Computing)
conferences was to promote the application of parallel computers to
solve real life problems. In the case of ParCo97 a new milestone
was reached in that more than half of the papers and posters
presented were concerned with application aspects. This fact
reflects the coming of age of parallel computing.
Some 200 papers were submitted to the Program Committee by authors
from all over the world. The final programme consisted of four
invited papers, 71 contributed scientific/industrial papers and 45
posters. In addition a panel discussion on Parallel Computing and
the Evolution of Cyberspace was held. During and after the
conference all final contributions were refereed. Only those papers
and
posters accepted during this final screening process are included
in this volume.
The practical emphasis of the conference was accentuated by an
industrial exhibition where companies demonstrated the newest
developments in parallel processing equipment and software.
Speakers from participating companies presented papers in
industrial sessions in which new developments in parallel computing
were reported.
